It is important to read the words of Dawkins himself, and not just the words of those discussing him. Have you read Dawkins latest proposals for the mass eradication of religion from public and private life? His suggestions that parents should be charged with child abuse for teaching children their religious beliefs? Have you studied his demands that sectarian schools of all kinds - not just Christian, but ALL religions - should be shut down? Have you studied his own suggestions for how the world should be forced away from all religions but his own secular one? Are you aware that he is not merely expressing his opinion, but was commissioned to do so by a public entity for broadcast?

All are entitled to their opinions under the Constitution of the United States of America - and under the First Amendment, all are entitled to their religions as well. According to Dawkins, I do not have that right, and therefore I do have a right to be concerned about his opinion. I do not, however, have a right to suppress it, and that is the difference between Dawkins and me.
This wish to suppress all diverse beliefs should be called what it is - facism. The allusion to Hitler was not in reference to Dawkins, it was in reference to the idea that a man's own happiness in himself was the ultimate measure of his worth. If that statement fits Dawkins, it is only because they both share the desire to control the belief systems of others...
Dawkins is a Brit
...Dawkins describes all religious faith as “a process of non-thinking”...
Interesting point of view. The deepest thinking, questionning and searching I do is when I am praying.
Dawkins displays arrogance but not wisdom. Love, forgiveness, redemption, sacrifice are all ignored in his "Evolution Dogma".
